No. 1 Defensive Lineman in Mississippi Commits to Alabama Over Ole Miss Football

The talented Magnolia State prospect developed rapport with the Crimson Tide staff; specifically head coach Kalen DeBoer.

"Coach DeBoer is a great head coach as well," he told 247Sports. "He made sure that from my very first visit to Alabama that I was going to be a personal priority of his as well. He showed me that he's a person that actually does what they say they're going to do."

Ole Miss will look to flip the talented in-state prospect prior to the Early Signing Period in December following a pledge to Alabama.

The 247Sports Evaluation: "Long and nimble defensive end that flashes a high level of untapped athleticism off the edge as a pass rusher. Primarily positioned in an odd front as a five technique, Wilson possesses the ability to bump inside situationally while showing the ability to utilize his first step quickness and athleticism to his advantage off the line of scrimmage.

"Hovering around 240-pounds currently, the Magnolia State product will need to add a significant amount of weight to his frame at the next level as he continues to develop from a play strength standpoint at the point of attack. Although he’s an easy mover for his size, the Top247 standout can struggle with pad level consistency off the snap which can prevent him from effectively disengaging and coming off of blocks consistently in the run game.

"Projects as an above average to good starter at the Power Four level that will more than likely need one to two years to develop both from a physical and technical standpoint before making a significant impact on Saturdays."
